Inferno / Danny.. Re: your post on Best's Forum
Heya Danny.. regarding the post you put up on Best's forum regarding the high end of a 9m waroo...
Thing is that once you get up to the points that you are wanting to take it, you have to oversheet it to the point of near-inversion.
When I was out on the 9m on Sunday when the wind was in the 30mph range, I was absolutely able to ride comfortably and control the power, but I had to be very careful to not sheet out too mujch. if you are looking for a kite for those super insane 35+ days, a 7m probably would suit better. the 9m is more in lines to a 11m C kite.
Even yesterday in the upper 20's the 9m at times was perfect but when it would just to near 30 I would have to sheet out more than I would like. I had one inversion scare due to putting WAY too much slack on the back lines.
you learn quickly that you need to be conscious of the tension on the lines..
pushing the extreme upper limits on the bow kites is where the problems are occuring ...
